The intriguing battle between Crystal Palace's defensive steel and Nottingham Forest's attacking flair ended in a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park, a result that sees both sides extend their unbeaten starts to the season.
For the FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, this first home game was a chance to build on a solid away point at Chelsea, make their ground a fortress, and translate cup glory into league consistency.
Nottingham Forest, however, travelled to South London aiming to prove their explosive opening-day win was no fluke and that their European ambitions were genuine by claiming a big result at a notoriously difficult ground.
In a classic clash of styles, it was the resilient home side who struck first. In the 37th minute, a perfect cross from the right flank found Ismaïla Sarr unmarked near the six-yard box, and he made no mistake, volleying the ball home to give Palace the lead (1-0).
Forest, who had controlled large parts of the game, finally made their pressure count after the break. A through ball released Callum Hudson-Odoi down the right, who outpaced his marker before firing a low shot from a tight angle that took a slight deflection from the goalkeeper’s stretched leg on its way into the net (1-1).
For Crystal Palace, it’s a second consecutive draw to start the campaign. While they’ll be disappointed not to have held on for the win, the result confirms their status as a tough team to beat. With just one goal scored and one conceded in two matches, their season is following the expected pattern of defensive solidity as they prepare for a trip to Aston Villa.
Nottingham Forest will leave London with a sense of satisfaction, having remained undefeated and passed a significant test on the road. Coming from behind to earn a point showcases their character, and the fact they breached one of the league’s tightest defences will give their attack even more confidence. They’ve successfully built on their strong start to the season ahead of their next match against West Ham.
To calculate the above duration values based on a total of 90 minutes, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are considered scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are considered scored on the 90th minute.

How is the Domination Index calculated?
⌄
The Domination Index calculation is based on the average of the following percentages:
- Possession percentage - Percentage of match corners awarded to each team - Percentage of time each team has been in the lead
'Domination' in football can be perceived in different ways. The goal of the Domination Index, as calculated here, is not about trying to determine things like 'who should have won' or which team has been simply attacking the most.
Sometimes a team has easily scored once or twice in the beginning of the game and then opts for a more reactive stance, with a focus on hindering the opponent's game. At the end of the match, the opponent might have had more possession, and even more shots, but that does not necessarily mean they have dominated the other team.
Considering possession as only one of the factors, which also include corners (clearly indicating a form of pressure on the opponent's defence), and how much of the 90-minute match duration each team has been leading, allows to also account for when teams have simply been busy controling the game, without needing to attack a lot.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Crystal Palace have been in the lead for an average duration of 10.0 minutes per match (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is longer than the average duration of 0.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
Lead-defending ability Crystal Palace have taken the lead 1 instance and have conceded an equalizer on 1 occasion, translating into a lead-defending rate of 0% (for an opponents' equalizing rate of 100%).
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Crystal Palace have been in the lead for an average duration of 20.0 minutes per match played at home (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is longer than the average duration of 0.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
